摘要
Gastrointestinal stromal tumor （GIST） is the most common mesenchymal malignancy of the gastrointestinal tract.GISTs may coexist with different types of cancer,either synchronous or metachronous （1）.Most GISTs develop in a sporadic fashion,but familial occurrence,such as neurofibromatosis and Carney-triad,has also been reported （2）.The overall frequency of second tumors in different series varied from 4.5% to 33%.The most frequent types of GIST-associated cancers were gastrointestinal carcinomas （47%）,lymphoma/leukemia （7%）,carcinomas of prostate （9%）,breast （7%）,kidney （6%）,lung （5%）,female genital tract （5%）,carcinoid tumors （3%）,soft tissue and bone sarcomas （3%）,malignant melanoma （2%） and seminoma （1%） （1,3-5）.
